Today, Prince George’s County Schools has made the decision to close all schools and offices on January 22 due to inclement weather. The safety and well-being of our students and staff is our top priority, and after carefully monitoring the weather forecast, we have determined that it is in the best interest of everyone to cancel classes for the day.
We understand that this may cause inconvenience for some families, but we believe it is important to err on the side of caution when it comes to potentially hazardous weather conditions. We encourage all students and staff to stay safe and warm during this time.
Please stay tuned for updates on any potential closures or delays for the following days. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
